Su questo libro

Recensione:

His reporting here is spot-on: clear-eyed, informative and compassionate ... His work is always ... surprising, original, stimulating and, for that reason, always worth reading (Lynn Barber SUNDAY TELEGRAPH)

It was when he was away that he was at his best ... His walkabouts around the world were driven by an insatiable curiosity to explore and acquaint himself with cultures he knew nothing about, to rejoice in the diversity of the extraordinary world we live in, and to use his writing as a tool for change ... If A. A. Gill is to be away for a while, we should all take up the baton he has left behind and make sure we are richer, not poorer, for his absence (Stephen Daldry)

'In this collection of twenty-four accounts of trips abroad he comes across as both funny and compassionate' (DAILY EXPRESS)

'Imagine Evelyn Waugh reborn as one of Nick Hornby's endearingly superficial protagonists, and you have London's Sunday Times television and restaurant critic Gill: droll, astute, irritable, irritating and always cleaver-sharp . . . it's his bald foreignness that makes him such a skilled marksman. That, and the fact that he himself is such an original' (PUBLISHERS WEEKLY)

'Sometimes shocking, usually smart, always entertaining' (KIRKUS REVIEWS)

Descrizione del libro:
